I can't make up my mind here. All of the above games, regardless of how good they are, seem to make up the VAST majority of topics on this board, while other gems slip through the cracks and rarely ever get mentioned. Which of the above titles do you think contributes to this the most?
FFVIII. >_>
FF7. That thing is way oberrated. That is not the best goddamn game in the world...
Definatly the one with the tough villain that automatically makes it the best game ever.
It was a difficult decision. To cut it short, I thought FFVIII was a horrible, horrible game, and I can't understand for the life of me why so many people like it. I don't think that makes it over-rated though, it just has its strong fan base.
FFVII is great and everything, but it wasn't that great. Most people seem to make it out to be the greatest game ever or something. Most of its praisers are just Sephiroth (who I thought was lame) fangirls/boys or people who love it so much simply because of the nostalgic value of it being their first FF.
In the end, I chose Final Fantasy VII. To be overrated, it has to be good to begin with, and since I think FFVIII was a piece of garbage as far as SE games go, it doesn't fit as overrated.
Just to clarify, I'm not try to ask which game isn't as good as people make it out to be. I'm more asking you to fill in the blank here:
"Okay, geez, we get it already, you like the game. Just stop talking about it. Just because you think it's the greatest thing since sliced bread doesn't mean all the threads in the universe need to be about it. It's not like ___________ is the only game in existance, you know."
It's going to be between FFVII and Xenogears. I really do love both of those games, but I've heard too much talk about both of them. If I never heard another word abuot either of them, it'd be fine with me. I've heard a lifetime's worth.
:D
You said Squenix :D
I'd say Xenogears, simply because it feels more like a really long Anime with walky around bits than a game. Plus I get headaches if I play it more than twenty minutes.
Xenogears isnt highly rated in the first place or over rated. I voted Chrono Trigger.Quote:

I'd say this poll is engineered to end up with FFVII as the result. I'd also say that I agree :D
Added a "None of them" option so I could vote.
you know, i would say FFVII, bu im pretty sure that game was made before the companys merged and thus is not a square enix but square soft game. so im not sure but i guess FFX
however if you mean just general square game FFVII
FFX was made way before the merge anyway.
Where's the Kingdom Hearts option? That game is mediocre at best.
it was realesd the year of. i did reaserch on it before voting. it was realesed about 8 monthes after the merge.Quote:

What does cost have to do with anything? Did you not read what DJZen posted?Quote:

perhaps my source was wrong.
anywho of the games up their i guess i will vote for VII as most overrated, or hyped or whatever. but only because everyone thinks its the greatest game ever and its not. even though it is good.
none. hey, can't blame Xeno/FFVII for being so gosh damn incredible. of course, the "VII is better than VIII" pep rallies are nerve-racking. i think you can now count an invisible vote if you see it.
As I said, it's not so much about how good or not good the game actually was as it is about how overly discussed it is. In fact, I should probably get the title of the thread changed...
Also, the reason I didn't include a "none" option is because it doesn't do the poll any good. That's like putting a "no candidate" option on a ballot. If you select that it's a lot like not selecting one at all. Throwing that in really stinks of oneupmanship and seems to serve no purpose other than passive-aggressiveness, Kishi. To quote Bring It On, the greatest movie ever made, "Uh-uh, NOT cool." ;)
FFVIII.
But I wanted to participate.Quote:

Are you saying that would be a bad idea?Quote:

I had to go with ChronoTrigger, everyone talks about it... lol... well all my physical friends love it, but alas i have issues playin 2D games so thats why i dont like it.. thats all me though.
Final Fantasy VII.
Plus, with all the new spin offs and movie, people talk about it more.
I like FFVII, but honestly people, it was NOT that good. Certainly not as good as FFIX.
Amen to that.Quote:

What about a super computer option? It could make all our decisions for us.Quote:

I've been able to play through them all and both

whiny about them.

I think all of 5 copies of Star Ocean 2 were sold, and 4 of them were returned the next day.
And then bought again eight years later by people like me.
Except for the one that was lost to a dragon, the one that was buried in a mine, and one that was sold for the rights to Moria.
Pfft. j/kQuote:

None of them, because the only one released by Square Enix was Star Ocean... and that game doesn't compare to some of the others on the list.
I voted none of them because I don't think any is praised "too much".
Wow, it would be so handy if I could re-title this thread...
Not over-praised, that was clearly a bad choice of words on my part. Which game do people need to stop talking about most. Basically what I'm getting at is that certain games are so highly rated that talking about them more seems a bit silly since there's so many gems out there that don't get noticed. What I'm basically asking is which game would you like people to shut up about already.
Okay, I'm just going to change the title of the thread already, and see if that will help.
And I still say Xenogears. Just...shut up. I love it too, but...ugh. I already said this.
FFXVII? Does that come in the Final Fantasy Odyssey package?Quote:
it taught me theres better (like 7+10)
People need to shut up about FF7. I don't think people talk enough about XG though.
Ah, Xenogears. What a wonderful game. That and Vagrant Story. Pieces of art, that they are.
FFVII. Compared to normal RPG standards, good game. Compared to FF standards, bad game.
I don't understand it's overrated-ness. It's about a cross-dressing attention wh*re who is searching for this lover; who claims to be an immortal demi-goddess. I just enjoy games with a story like that as much as I do others.
People need to shut the smurf up about FFVI. That game is the worst game ever made!
i think people should shut up about how much they hate X-2, you think it was bad i get it, dont ruin it for the rest of us....
oh and people talk about VII too much
Word. I choose FFVII not that its a awful game, I rather liked the characters of RedXIII, yuffie, Barrett, Cid, and Aeries. But the game is flawed fundamentally. It was created for those who never touched RPG's before. Its definately the easiest final fantasy, evidanced that square felt the need to add Ruby and Emerald to cover up the distinct lack of challenging bosses. but not the worst. Worst Final Fantasy was FFVIII. My hate for that game started right around the point Rinoa joined the party. There she is meeting her dream date from the graduation party, and she's waxing romantic about her lost love Seifer who she didnt even care enough to look up while she was at the garden, busy flirting her ass off with squall. It was at that point i declared her to be Final Fantasy's biggest slut, and wished squall would have sense enough to bust a limit break on her.Quote:

Pffffft. yah right.
And as for xenogears, I loved that game to pieces. It was squares best RPG of the 32-bit generation and they were blasted fools not to fund the team so they could ship the game complete. Their loss was namco's gain though.

Its an great game n all but it annoying that people keep asking what the story is all about. Its been out for 8 years and they still havent cracked it yet?!! com'n people sort it out!
There's not enough talk about how goddamn awesome Vagrant Story is, it's all about how hard it is ;_; Honestly, it's one second only to Chrono Trigger in my eyes.Quote:

No one’s going to mention FFVI? Figures…
Seriously; it’s a great game, but why do people love it so much? I can’t think of anything in it that hasn’t been outdone in later FF games. It’s kind of disturbing when I hear that people cry during the Opera Scene…
And I really hope they do something about the bugs in the GBA remake…
FFVII, it's very smurfing overrated...
FF7, of course...
